I love Sheila Agee. She's an amazing woman.
When she qualified as a nurse's aid in the film I cried.
@@savedfaves I know, she didn't think she would make it and it really shows that all you need is to have someone believe in you. Kind of like Zack Mayo in An Officer & A Gentleman.
Word2
@@savedfaves I CRIED TOO!! Her part was the most memorable. I was rooting for the parents as well.
I had a big crush on her!!!
This movie is probably one of the most influential movies I have seen & remember most, from my teenage years. I've often wondered about everyone in the doc and to see all of this, is incredible stuff. I remember being a teenager and actually feeling heavy emotions towards Ping and saw how much of a bad person he was. To see & know, that Arthur, William and everyone for that matter, express their disdain towards him as well, is really good. This is an incredible piece regarding an outstanding documentary.
Greatest documentary. No re-enactments. No scripted storylines. No editorializing. No manipulative editing. Just pure greatness and honest story telling.
Sheila Agee is the most beautiful woman, inside and out. Her strength is amazing.
Exceptional woman for sure!!!
Yea coach Ping knew he misjudged him. Coach Ping’s face when he was at Arthur’s state game and seeing him win was his realization
God bless you continually Mama Agee...who would call this woman ignorant? I thank God for strong women; mom's like her!
Respect too Arthur and William 🇬🇧 🇵🇰 🏀 💭
Im 35 now, first saw the trailer to this watching above the rim...and said fuck I want to see hoop dreams instead...Allowed me to dream as well...got my education, b.a. in history and researched everyone from bo agee, to curtis gates...I still play ball and love it to this day...Rip curtis gates, bo agee, luther bedford, joe agee....love you all...
Arthur's mom looks exactly the same lol
+Jonathan Fernandez Yep she has great gens
+Jonathan Fernandez No she doesnt , she looks 20 years older
I loved her in the film... she was so sweet
@@nunyabidnnezz1969 Same man. She’s a great mother, reminds me a lot of one of my aunts, haha. 😊😂
William made a great point. What could have been with Arthur and him playing together.
Man William and Arthur backcourt duo would be sick if William also went to Marshall. Luther Bedford would’ve extended William’s bball career by reducing his offensive load and probably have him focus on scoring and defense while Arthur ran the point. Add Zinnerman as the 6th man and Arthur and William would have more rest and stayed fresh in the end of games.
Arthur Agee is still full of spirit. Cool dude
Still my favorite movie ever. Sheila, Arthur, William are true survivors and fantastic.
Arthur's Bill Clinton impression is amazing
So happy to see these good ppl doing well
I love Ms Agee man I’m glad she’s doing good they for sure had some hard times that a lot of us can relate to RIP to Curtis,Joe, and Mr Agee
This is a great film! I saw it when I was 12 and I love it just as much now as I did back then.
This movie helped get me threw my years of playing Highschool Ball.
Good luck man
Wow Arthur’s mom Sheila looks great. Has not aged a bit!
32:10 The camera guy said it best. Pingatore didn’t bothered helped Arthur in his Sophomore year tuition because he felt Arthur wasn’t going to be a star basketball player. This is why Luther Bedford was a much better coach than Gene Pingatore because he unlike Pingatore, he didn’t care if Arthur became a star. He only cared if his players worked hard to play good team basketball.
Not sure how I discovered this movie but I love it so much. Basketball is not big in the UK but this movie is about more than Basketball. This is a great interview.
Arthur is so funny. Great story teller.
This was a phenomenal story on so many levels, my favorite documentary ever, the truth and the reality of the film just made it all that much more relatable and interesting to watch. I remember rooting for both of them to at least make it to college, to not cross that line of quitting and working odd jobs to survive, when they both signed letters I was so happy...and of course William had the curse of his older brother previously dropping out of college. Also, the coverage of how these high schools were recruiting young athletes, and how those athletes are treated after they commit...and are "de-committed" by proxy if they're not playing at a high enough level and have economic hardships...what St. Joe's did to Arthur and his family was bogus. And Coach Bedford's take on the whole situation was quite refreshing, a true public school coach who will teach the kids he's given in his district, not go out trying to make a dream team with alumni dollars to keep the winning going...and as fate would have it, Arthur grew like a sprout, and the whole team could run the floor on anybody...and made it down state. A real reversal of athletic fortune tale, such an interesting and thought provoking film...and what an effort it took to make the whole film.
Incredible, awesome to see and hear the retro and where everyone is today. Great Job Everyone!
Hoops Dreams is such a inspiration to me .. I love that documentary.
Awesome, love hearing the stories of amazing things that have happened since the doco was made
This is even better than the damn film!!!!!
JUst watched it yesterday...what a great inspiration these boys were back in the day...and to see them now and the hard work they still contribute to the community shows that anyone can reach for the stars..but theres one thing that seperates us is the hard work and dedication we must put in to get where we want...Thanks to those men and their mothers they continue the journey of success...
Glad there was a mention of Siskel and Ebert here. They really helped champion this film.
I love this woman
Arthur's really funny.
Beautiful immensely inspiring truly 🇺🇸 champions!
Best documentary ever man on sports....period!!!! This film gave me my start in 1995 ....was awesome very inspiring....sooo good. Underrated, Arthurs journey was very interesting to me.
I watched this yday too and it was so gripping. wonderful to see this Q&A and how the guys have come along so far.
I love the movie! Great interview
My desire is to meet these 2 brothers.
Fucking hell she keeps making me cry
what a great Q and A..
That was amazing!
Amazing!!!
Loved the movie
Best movie ever!
wow this put a big :) on my face I love this
Best movie Arthur Agee and William gates best ever Hoop dreams..
30:45 I’m glad the camera guy said that to Pingatore after he downplayed William’s high school basketball career.
Arthur mimicked Bill Clinton perfectly lol
Salute
What happened to Shannon? I know he went to Prison for Drug Dealing but did he get out, did he change?
God Bless. That's wonderful. I would love for him to speak to Young Men about the importance of Education, Finishing What You Start and most of all, the dangers of Drugs and Prison Life.
laminage Shannon was cool too..glad he's still alive...
Did I hear correctly 4:22 that Arthur’s brother AND father died??
What's happen to Shannon, Agee friend, do anybody know?
They wanted to remake it to shelf it
Sheila Agee should have been a Motivational Speaker. Did Joe get shot as well? Curtis could have done so well but he didn't listen.
I believe Joe died from complications from Diabetes
I believe Joe got shot too. Tragic dude.
Arthur Agee should do commentary on ESPN or TNT
Filmed in the Red Light district.
Dickie Nutt. Go ahead and tell him I was laughing at the name.
does anyone know how arthurs dad died?
He got robbed and shot in an alley
To street violence
Arthur’s mom still looks the same as I remember.def feel like she’s my auntie lol
What happened to Arthur's little brotha?
I believe he died of heart failure due to long battle with diabetes.....😭😭😭😭
24:30
That’s very cool that they were best friends. I didn’t know that and i’ve see Hoop Dreams many times. One of the shittiest parts of that Doc was when Arthur was gonna sign his letter to attend Jr College and his shitty dad instead of telling his son to do what’s best for him and i’m proud of you etc, that junkie was rambling on about his mom going in the hole to help Arthur. L and all that bullshit. The look on Arthur’s face said it all. His mom should’ve respected his wishes and not even had him there. I didn’t like Arthur’s dad. Not because he had some problems but because he was a piece of shit. Like the scene where he went to see about getting Arthur’s records from St Joes, he’s there trying to hug the guy who he owes money to and won’t release them until they paid something. That’s some fein shit. He was always doing some fein shit. If you’ve ever been around some feins, most of them act like Bo Agee.
What happen to his best friend SHANON??
Shannon still living.. hit up Arthur’s Ig he always reply .. Mr.hoopdreams
curtis really was lost after his hoop dream died, im not surprised he didnt make it, he had nothing to live for at the time of the movie.
Jdem88 yeah, people make bad decisions, curtis was my idol and still is even though he was murdered in 2001..he truly was an inspiration to me as well as arthur, and william..
Bugged out seeing Arthur’s mamma
If you do not think this is a classic. Something is wrong with your head.
Best documentary of all time. It's a shame Arthur became a womanizer with 4 or 5 kids with 4 or 5 different women. Not paying child support etc. William could keep it in his pants and stay faithful to his wife. Much kudos for him! Would like to know if Arthur is gainfully employed in 2021. I imagine William is.
Ew. Coach Ping was such a dislikable character in that film, you couldn't make it up.
